Looking down the chimney.

Description 

The Upper Deviation is split into two pieces by a chimney, this is the route. Climb the chimney with little protection to the notch and belay here. A short second pitch climbs north out of the notch and back onto the east face to the summit.

The first pitch is more of a high-angle gully than a pure chimney. It is unusual and receives a star for this.

Descent 

A short rappel west from the summit.

Protection 

Standard rack to #3 or #4 Camalot.
